The car sped on the highway. In a blink of an eye, it was almost 2 p.m.
Yuan Tiantian and her group were already stuck in the long line of traffic at the entrance to City B.
"There are so many cars!"
Xiao Jiu looked at the cars on both sides, in front and behind. She exclaimed in her milky voice.
"Why aren't we moving?"
Bai Ying saw that Yuan Tiantian didn't start the car again. He asked curiously. Yuan Tiantian sighed.
"We can't move. There's a traffic jam. We can only leave when the cars in front move bit by bit."
Then, Yuan Tiantian explained the term "traffic jam" to them.
After hearing her explanation, they all understood.
"So that's how it is. It's so troublesome. If it weren't inconvenient to fly in the air, I would just fly out!"
The feeling of being stuck in traffic was really unpleasant.
Hearing Bai Ying say this, Yuan Tiantian was shocked. Then she looked at Sheng Jing and Ling. It seemed that they all had the same idea on their faces.
No!
These three could all fly in the air, but this was City B, the capital of the country. Yuan Tiantian quickly explained the importance of this city to them. After talking for a long time, Yuan Tiantian finally summed it up in one sentence.
"So, here, none of you four can show any difference, or you'll be arrested!"
Hearing Yuan Tiantian say this, the two kids immediately nodded frantically, with a look of fear in their eyes.
Yuan Tiantian didn't regret saying this. She just wanted them to be afraid. Otherwise, if they accidentally exposed themselves, she didn't know how to protect them from the huge trouble it would bring!
As for the two men, after hearing Yuan Tiantian's words, one replied impatiently, and the other just nodded slightly. Then he looked at the busy traffic outside, as if lost in thought.
Seeing that the four of them had taken her words to heart, Yuan Tiantian didn't say anything more.
After that, the car moved forward and stopped repeatedly. It was almost an hour later, nearly 3 p.m., when they finally entered the city!
"Let's go back first and put down our luggage. Then I'll return the car."
"You guys wait for me at home then."
Knowing that they would come back, Yuan Tiantian had directly hired a part - time worker to clean the villa where she lived, the place where she had traveled through time. Four rooms had been tidied up.
Bai Ying and Sheng Jing would stay in two guest rooms on the first floor, one for each. Xiao Jiu and Ling would stay in the guest rooms on the second floor with her.
She had originally thought of putting them in the children's room on the third floor, but then she thought better of it.
It would be more reassuring to have the two little ones on the same floor as her.
Nearly an hour later, Yuan Tiantian and her group finally arrived at the Yuan family's villa.
"Boss, your place is quite big!"
Yuan Tiantian drove into the villa complex. When they reached the front of the house, the car temporarily stopped on the aisle outside the yard. Since she was going to return the car right after putting down the things, she didn't look for a parking space.
"You talk too much."
Hearing Bai Ying's words, Yuan Tiantian rolled her eyes at him angrily. Then she continued.
"Hurry up and help me carry the stuff."
They had brought a lot of luggage this time, as well as many storable vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and radishes.
Yuan Tiantian pushed two suitcases and led Xiao Jiu and Ling. The three of them entered the villa first. Bai Ying and Sheng Jing made two trips in total before they finally moved all the things into the villa hall.
Yuan Tiantian asked them to put the suitcases directly into their respective rooms. The other food and drinks they had brought back were piled up in a corner of the living room for now. She planned to deal with them after returning the car.
"You guys play here for now. I'll be back after returning the car."
After Yuan Tiantian turned on the living - room TV, she said to them. Bai Ying, Xiao Jiu, and Ling were very curious about the new place. They were looking around, running up and down the stairs, and were extremely excited.
Hearing that Yuan Tiantian was going out, they didn't say they wanted to follow. They just nodded directly and then shouted loudly.
"Okay!"
Yuan Tiantian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She turned around and was about to leave, but someone followed her from behind.
It was Sheng Jing.
"Aren't you going to rest here?"
Yuan Tiantian asked curiously. In the car, Sheng Jing hadn't closed his eyes. He had been sitting in the passenger seat with her. Although he didn't talk much, he had carefully helped her check the road conditions. Anyway, he hadn't rested.
She thought Sheng Jing must be tired. After all, it had been several hours on the road, and it was quite tough in the car.
"No. I'll go with you. We'll talk about it after we get back."
Seeing that Sheng Jing was insistent, Yuan Tiantian didn't stop him anymore. She felt a warm feeling in her heart.
The car - rental place was quite a distance from the Yuan family's villa area. It took Yuan Tiantian half an hour to drive there.
It was another twenty minutes before the other party confirmed that the car was okay and the return procedures were completed.
Looking at the time, it was almost 4:30 p.m. Yuan Tiantian saw the KFC across the street. Her stomach growled inappropriately. She was hungry.
Yuan Tiantian felt a bit embarrassed. She turned to Sheng Jing and said.
"Let's buy some food to eat on the way back to fill our stomachs!"
There was a welcome dinner arranged by Yuan Lele in the evening, but now she was hungry. She planned to buy some food first. She had eaten lunch early today, and except for a little water, she hadn't eaten anything since then.
"Okay."
Sheng Jing also heard Yuan Tiantian's hungry stomach growling. He nodded in agreement. When they got to the store, Yuan Tiantian didn't think much and directly bought five of the biggest buckets.
With Bai Ying, the big eater, there was no problem finishing them.
After buying the food, under the occasional peeks from the waiter and many diners at Sheng Jing, Yuan Tiantian and Sheng Jing walked out of the store.
Yuan Tiantian thought that when going out with Sheng Jing, she must be prepared to be stared at. His good looks were just too attractive and always drew people's attention.
Sheng Jing carried all five buckets. Yuan Tiantian wanted to help carry two, but he directly refused.
"I'll do it."
Seeing that Sheng Jing was so determined and showed no sign of being forced, Yuan Tiantian didn't insist anymore.
Fortunately, a taxi arrived soon.
The taxi was stopped at the entrance of the villa community and wasn't allowed to enter. Yuan Tiantian and Sheng Jing had to walk in.
"It's okay. We can drive in later. It'll be more convenient."
The villa community was quite large, and the Yuan family's villa was a bit further inside. It took them nearly a quarter of an hour to walk there. When they reached the door, Yuan Tiantian was a bit tired and out of breath. She said softly, as if comforting Sheng Jing and herself.
Sheng Jing didn't say a word. He just smiled slightly and shook his head.
"We're back!"
Before they entered, Yuan Tiantian shouted into the yard. A few seconds later, Xiao Jiu and Ling immediately rushed out.
When they saw the KFC in Yuan Tiantian's hands, their already happy eyes became even brighter.
The happiness of children was just that simple.
"Yummy food!"
